The apparatus includes: a processor that determines transmission resources capable of transmitting Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) using a Control Resource Set (CORESET) by a plurality of wireless transmitting-receiving identities including a first identity and a second identity; and determines a resource candidate from the transmission resources for transmitting the PDCCH; where the resource candidate includes a first resource group having a first set of Resource Elements (REs) for transmission by the first identity, and a second resource group having a second set of REs for transmission by the second identity; and a transmitter that transmits the PDCCH using the resource candidate.

This application provide a resource indication method and a related device. According to the method provided in this application, a terminal device can send a HARQ-ACK on a PUCCH resource in at least one sub-slot. The resource indication method may be applied to the terminal device. The method may include: The terminal device may receive DCI from a network device, where the DCI indicates a slot used by the terminal device to transmit a HARQ-ACK. After receiving the DCI, the terminal device may send the HARQ-ACK on a PUCCH resource in at least one sub-slot of the slot indicated by the DCI. The slot includes at least two sub-slots. In other words, the terminal device may send the HARQ-ACK on a PUCCH resource in one sub-slot of the slot, or may send the HARQ-ACK on a PUCCH resource in a plurality of sub-slots of the slot.

There is disclosed a method of operating a feedback radio node in a radio access network. The method includes transmitting feedback signalling representing an encoded sequence of bits, the encoded sequence of bits representing a sequence of feedback information bits, the sequence of feedback information bits comprising a plurality of subpatterns, each subpattern having a type of a set of types. The set of types has a first type and a second type, the subpatterns being ordered in the sequence according to their type. The disclosure also pertains to related devices and methods.

Disclosed are an information sending method, information receiving method, apparatus, and device. The information sending method includes: receiving a physical sidelink feedback channel (PSFCH); determining a first duration; and sending a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) or a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) not earlier than a first moment, where the first moment is a moment the first duration after an end moment of receiving the PSFCH. A terminal device does not send the PUCCH or the PUSCH before the moment the first duration after the end moment of receiving the PSFCH. Because the terminal device can determine the first duration, it is ensured that the terminal device may have sufficient time to process the PUCCH or the PUSCH. The PUCCH or the PUSCH may be used to carry sidelink hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) information, and the HARQ information may be generated based on the received PSFCH.

The technology of this application provides a control information transmission method, so that sizes of different downlink control information (DCI) can be aligned, thereby reducing types of DCI sizes and reducing power consumption when a terminal detects DCI. The method includes a terminal device detecting first DCI in a first search space, where the first DCI is used to indicate an active bandwidth part (BWP) of the terminal device, a size of the first DCI and a size of second DCI are aligned, the second DCI can be sent by a network device to the terminal device in a first common search space, and the second DCI is used to schedule a system message, a paging message, or a random access response (RAR).

This application discloses a downlink data sending method, a downlink data receiving method, and an apparatus, and relates to the communication field, to resolve a problem that feedback information fails to be sent, and consequently, a retransmission probability of downlink data is increased, and data transmission efficiency is reduced. When at least two of P PDSCHs in one slot overlap in time domain, a network device cancels sending of partially overlapping PDSCHs. If one first PDSCH whose sending is canceled is the last repetition in PDSCH repetitions of first data, and a terminal device receives another repetition in the PDSCH repetitions of the first data before the first PDSCH, the terminal device still sends feedback information for the first data to the network device in a feedback slot corresponding to the first PDSCH.

A method may include determining a slot for hybrid automatic repeat request feedback based on one or more downlink assignments. The method may also include determining one or more sets of communication channels with associated start and length indicators for which hybrid automatic repeat requests will be bundled based on a resource assignment table and a hybrid automatic repeat request bundling configuration parameter. The method may further include determining one or more sets of candidate communication channel slots based on K1 values and the resource assignment table. Further, the method may include selecting a start and length indicator for each communication channel set from a corresponding resource assignment row. The method may also include removing unselected start and length indicators and candidate communication channel slots without a selected start and length indicator.

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive a semi-persistent scheduling (SPS) downlink communication. The UE may detect a collision between a configured uplink resource associated with a hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) for the SPS downlink communication and a candidate synchronization signal block (SSB) position. The UE may transmit the HARQ-ACK for the SPS downlink communication in the configured uplink resource or in a deferred uplink resource in connection with detecting the collision. Numerous other aspects are described.

A method of performing a virtual network function. The method comprises forking a user plane process on a computer by a virtual network function process that executes on the computer, forking a control plane process on the computer by the virtual network function process, adding blocks to a user plane blockchain by the user plane process that record user plane events, adding blocks to a control plane blockchain by the control plane process that record control plane events, creating a first package of information by the user plane process based on the user plane blockchain, self-terminating by the user plane process while passing the first package of information to the virtual network function process, creating a second package of information by the control plane process based on the control plane blockchain, self-terminating by the control plane process while passing the second package of information to the virtual network function process.

A first device within a multi-link device having a plurality of wireless links including a first link and a second link, may include one or more processors configured to receive a first frame on the first link while communicating with a second device for transmission of a second frame on the second link. The one or more processors may decode a portion of the first frame to determine a first duration of no medium access. The one or more processors may determine, a second duration comprising a remaining transmission duration on the second link. The one or more processors may determine whether the first duration is greater than or equal to the second duration. In response to the first duration being greater than or equal to the second duration, the one or more processors may defer channel access on the first link until an end of the first duration.
